Help Me! need a good free malware/ virus scanner

Avast ain't too bad

I usually use AVG Free as my antivirus coupled with Malwarebytes.

I use malwarebytes + Avast

If you want Malwarebytes pro I can give you a key Just add me on steam or something.

If you want something free use Avast or AVG. Im using ESET, but its paid.

Next time read the info during installation. But i guess if it installs without notice then yeah malwarebytes.

Neither of software solutions suggested above will take care of adware really. The best tool I have been using to get rid of adware, toolbars, and 3rd party search engines was AdwCleaner.

Sometimes you can get away with uninstalling the phantom software via the user control panel.
